  • Do financial progress and economic prosperity matter for human development within the intellectual capital framework in Asia?   Order a copy of this article
    by Suman Dahiya, Bhushan Singh, Ishwar Singh Darji 
    Abstract: Investment in human capital produces a well-informed workforce that facilitates savings mobilisation into capital formation, further raising economic development. The current study explores how financial progress and economic growth contribute to human capital development in Asia using a pooled mean group estimation method on the data extracted from World Bank databases. The findings depict that economic prosperity and financial progress positively drive intellectual capital development by strengthening human assets in Asia. The study contributes to the existing literature, highlighting the role of macroeconomic factors in shaping human capital and offers policy measures suggesting the formulation of robust growth strategies that prioritise the upgrading of the education sector. Whereas the financial sector should adopt liberal credit policies to encourage private investment in human capital development infrastructure. Such a dual system can create a sustainable ecosystem for enhancing intellectual capital in Asia.
    Keywords: human capital; Asian economies; economic growth; financial development; pooled mean group estimation.

  • The relevance of integrated reporting in the intellectual capital disclosure and financial performance nexus: Indian evidence   Order a copy of this article
    by Santi Gopal Maji, Hirak Jyoti Nath 
    Abstract: This study explores the moderating role of integrated reporting (IR) in the relationship between intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) and firm performance, using a novel and comprehensive ICD framework. Analysing 100 Bombay Stock Exchange-listed firms from 20182023, divided equally between IR and annual reporting (AR) adopters, ICD was measured using a four-point content analysis scale. Findings reveal that IR firms disclose significantly more IC information than AR firms. ICD in IR has a positive and significant effect on both return on assets (ROA) and Tobins Q, while ICD in AR is positively linked only to Tobins Q. Further, IR significantly moderates the ICD-performance relationship. This study contributes original empirical evidence from India on the strategic value of IR in enhancing IC transparency and its financial impact, offering important insights for firms, regulators, and standard setters focused on improving reporting quality and long-term value creation.
    Keywords: intellectual capital; intellectual capital disclosure; ICD; firm performance; integrated reporting; GMM.

  • Improving job engagement of public servants through knowledge sharing: a study conducted in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam   Order a copy of this article
    by Linh-Giang Le Nguyen, Quang-Thang Le 
    Abstract: This study explores the factors influencing knowledge sharing and its impact on job engagement among public servants in Ho Chi Minh City amid economic and societal changes. Utilising the knowledge-based view theory, a comprehensive model was developed and assessed using PLS-SEM statistical techniques on data from 300 public servants. The analysis revealed that job engagement is influenced by factors like self-enjoyment, self-efficacy, social interaction, and reciprocity, while knowledge sharing is affected by factors including self-enjoyment, reputation enhancement, self-efficacy, reciprocity, and trust. Furthermore, knowledge sharing positively impacts job engagement and mediates factors such as self-enjoyment, reputation enhancement, self-efficacy, reciprocity, trust, and job engagement. This research highlights the crucial role of knowledge sharing in promoting job engagement within Vietnams public sector, providing valuable insights into their dynamic interplay. Despite the absence of longitudinal data, this research provides valuable insights for fostering job engagement and promoting knowledge sharing among public employees.
    Keywords: job engagement; knowledge sharing; public servants.

  • Green intellectual capital, green innovation, and MNEs sustainable performance: a sequential mediation approach   Order a copy of this article
    by Saif Ur Rehman, Yacoub Haider Hamdan, Abeer D. Al Sardi 
    Abstract: Grounded in the dynamic capabilities view, this study develops and tests a theoretical framework examining the impact of green intellectual capital on sustainable supply chain performance and financial performance in multinational enterprises (MNEs). A sequential mediation model is tested using structural equation modelling based on survey data from 364 logistics and supply chain managers in MNEs. The results show that green intellectual capital positively influences green process innovation, green product innovation, and sustainable supply chain performance. Green process innovation further enhances green product innovation. While green product innovation negatively affects sustainable supply chain performance, it positively contributes to financial performance. In addition, sustainable supply chain performance is found to reduce financial performance. Green product innovation negatively mediates the relationship between green intellectual capital and sustainable supply chain performance, while positively mediating its relationship with financial performance. The impact of green intellectual capital on financial performance is sequentially mediated through green process innovation, green product innovation, and sustainable supply chain performance.
    Keywords: green human capital; green structural capital; green relational capital; green innovation; sustainable supply chain performance; GCC context; multinational enterprises; MNEs.

  • Building the conceptual puzzle on impact of intellectual capital on firm performance: an integrative conceptual framework and future research agenda   Order a copy of this article
    by Neha Taunk, Karam Pal Narwal 
    Abstract: To attain success for an organisation in this competitive era, it is necessary to use effectively and efficiently its tangible and intangible resources for any organisation. Intellectual capital (IC) is a vital intangible resource that directly or indirectly impacts the firm performance. The purpose of this study is to propose an integrative conceptual framework on IC and firm performance through a synthesis of relevant literature. Therefore, the current study tries to synthesise the available literature to frame a conceptual model with moderating and mediating variables for studying the IC impact on firm performance. The result indicates that the impact of IC on firm performance is moderated by organisational learning and mediated by sustainable growth and competitive advantage of an enterprise. The current study will act as a guide for enterprises, governments, policymakers, and academicians for formulating policies on IC and exploring the effect of IC on firm performance.
    Keywords: conceptual framework; competitive advantage; firm performance; intellectual capital; moderation and mediation.
